Annie and Kevin

Wednesday, May 11, 2011






































When a bride says she loves "champagne and pretty things", you can be sure the results of her wedding planning will be nothing short of spectacular!

This stylish couple both grew up in Sonoma County, CA, and decided to tie the knot close to home. They started working with Off the Beaten Path Weddings, who helped them find the perfect rustic location, a winery in Headlsburg, CA, and select vendors who could bring this beautiful event to life. The bride fell in love with Tanja Lippert's photography (and who could blame her), and another major piece of their planning puzzle fell into place.

The bride wore an Amsale gown and fascinator with a pair of black feather-topped peep toes, while the groom wore a classic twill suit by J.Crew. Annie and her bridesmaids carried bright bouquets by La Belle Fleur, while Kevin and his men wore simple white boutonnieres. Papers by Elum and Paperwhite set the mood for a rustic, elegant event, and both families came together to create some of the loveliest decor details, including potted succulents, chalkboards and chicken wire windows, escort cards, seat numbers and the guest book. After a charming outdoor ceremony, guests enjoyed a meal designed by Peloton Catering and cupcakes from Kara's Cupcakes, a favorite of my dear girlfriend, Becky! And the perfect parting gift? Homemade jam made from raspberries from the bride's grandmother's garden-doesn't that just make your heart melt?
